If yoiu need an easy to use gui ftp program for windows, do a google for smartftp..

Mandrake created those entries in the example. I have no idea why?

hmmm, maybe it won't let you make 2 on the same drive I wonder? I recently moved my swap from my linux drive to my windows drive in an attempt to gain the imaginary speed boost we all crave, I had to make a second swap and reboot before I could use it.

I've just downloaded and installed popfile.. per linuxmag its one of the top downloads from sourceforge. For those of you who are interested, here's the link. It was easy to setup and is trainable. It doesn't do bouncing but per the author he feels that bouncing only stresses the email system more (and explains why) plus spammers are ignoring bounces now. Another advantage is that popfile is crossplatform and perl based..

Check out the fstab entries in this post..

See how they match up with yours.

I've been trying to get news-grabber 3 working with wine, but no luck so far. It allows me to select the database but then gives me an error message as it can't create some file or whatnot.. bother!

Regarding mcc or diskdrake, when I make a partition change, diskdrake will ask me if I want to update the fstab file. I always say no so that

a. My format stays as I like it.

b. diskdrake has been known to not deal with comments very well. ;)

Ok, thanks!

Here's a copy of my /etc/fstab file if it helps..

See this post too... I had some similar questions recently..

Do you have the 2 drives on different IDE's? If they are on the same, then it would not be a good thing. Only one drive can communicate with the bus at a time in that scenerio. If they are on separate IDE's then both drives can work at the same time.

Honestly I don't know if Mac OS X can run on a linux machine. I remember looking a while back and not being able to find a link. I would be surprised if it did since Mac is a hardware company as well as a software company.

As far as iMovie/iPhoto, there is plenty of photo and movie software. A good place to start looking is www.freshmeat.net or www.sourceforge.net. Make an account and you can search for keywords to locate projects.

TR-03: How can I rebuild my RPM databases?

Sometimes you try to add a new package using RPM or URPMI and end up getting a database error or some other "odd" error. Usually the first thing you should try to do is rebuild your RPM database. Here's a simple one liner to do so..

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpm --rebuilddb

This command will remove the database files and then issue a database rebuild command.

Why don't you start with rebuilding your rpm databases..

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* && rpm --rebuilddb

Also, if there is a md5sum for the file, you might want to check that.

I realize what I did wrong. Nothing.. :) I thought it was a 600 meg plus cd when its really only 6 meg or so. I couldn't figure why the command was operating that fast. Thanks for your help and glad to learn something new (dd command). :wink:

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

mkisofs -o partimage.iso -R -J /mnt/cdrom

It runs about 1-2 seconds and gives me a large 600 meg plus file.. Output is:

Total translation table size: 0

Total rockridge attributes bytes: 1318

Total directory bytes: 4096

Path table size(bytes): 38

Max brk space used 7064

2944 extents written (5 Mb)

Here's an interesting post by ndeb on sound drivers..

http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...highlight=sound

But first just try to increase your sound level with aumix.

You can also make sure you have all the mandrake documentations installed.

E.g.

Look for packages with mandrake_doc

such as

mandrake_doc-drakxtools-en-9.1-2mdk

mandrake_doc-en-9.1-2mdk

Mandrake 9.1 is running Apache2. Having said that, I know very little about the topic but you might want to start with that and see if parameter passing has changed.

Maybe a google on apache2 and parameter passing.

I don't see any reference to a gray key in the mc manual or the docs... where are you looking?

Have you considered purchasing a second hard drive to put linux on? If you do so, you can rest assured that your first hard drive containing windows98 will not be affected by anything you do. Otherwise, its a chance you take.. Like you I started with one drive and managed to hose my system a number of times. I know why I hosed it and can avoid it but I decided to get a second drive and feel more secure in experimenting with linux, partitions, and other projects.

I tried to move these into position last night but couldn't get access to the ftp server. Works today though :roll:

FAX = 14.4 :)
